Understanding Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome: A Complete Overview

Opioids are a type of drugs that are commonly prescribed to treat pain. Opioids contain both opiates and synthetic opioids like oxycodone, hydrocodone, and methadone, which have identical effects. When the usage of opiate drugs is stopped, it may build various withdrawal symptoms and collectively these symptoms are known as opioid withdrawal syndrome (OWS). 

The surge in opioid addiction cases and the involvement of both governmental and private institutions propel the market growth. The general population currently experiences a wide spectrum of severe and chronic ailments, such as cardiovascular, neuropathic, and other conditions. In addition, according to a research report by Astute Analytica, the global Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome (OWS) Market is likely to increase at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.4% over the projection period from 2022 to 2030. 

Treatment for opioid withdrawal syndrome and home remedies: 

Most people should seek a doctor's assistance to stop using opioids because it can be challenging to do so safely. They do some things: 

Give the patient medications like buprenorphine or methadone that can help with symptoms and cravings. Their doctor will gradually reduce the dosage until they no longer require it. 

Give the drugs to settle the stomach if a person experiences nausea or diarrhea, and advise them to drink more liquids to make up for the water their body is losing. 

Give the medicines to manage the blood pressure if it's high.

Methods for controlling opioid withdrawal: 

Yoga, meditation, and other mind-body practices can help people manage their pain while they're going through opioid withdrawal. 

By drinking enough water, a person can avoid becoming dehydrated. This might happen when they're going through opioid withdrawal, especially if they feel unwell, vomit, or perspire. 

Asking for assistance is crucial. Inform their close friends and coworkers that people may need more assistance if they are experiencing opioid withdrawal.

Medicines used to control the opioid withdrawal syndrome: 

Some medicines may help control the opioid withdrawal syndromes and enhance the person's comfort during the process. These consist of: 

Diazepam:  It lowers the feelings of anxiety and irritability. 

Clonidine: It treats symptoms such as irritability, sweating, fast heartbeat, and high blood pressure 

Metoclopramide: It assists in controlling the vomiting or nausea.

How long does opioid withdrawal syndrome have an impact? 

The kind, dose, and duration of the opioid taken, as well as how long a person has been using it, will all affect when and how long a person's withdrawal symptoms from the opioid start.

For instance, a person may suffer withdrawal symptoms 6 to 12 hours after taking their last dose if a person taking prescription opioids that are quick-acting, like oxycodone, or if they're using the narcotic heroin. After two days, the symptoms often peak and then subside after a week or so. 

A person may experience withdrawal symptoms one or two days after taking their final dosage of methadone or another opioid that releases slowly in their body. The symptoms can linger for three to six weeks, but they are typically not as severe as those caused by fast-acting opioids.

addiction (2023)

Maybe I thought I loved you because I wanted to love myself Anxiously attaching and not attending to my mental health

It was easier to fall into this pit of fantastical despair And to preserve myself as my outer self was too much to bear

Come here; let me bring you inside of me And let’s escape to wherever we can be free

I hope you don’t see how much I’m hurting And how many parts of myself I’m ready to start killing

It’s just that these feelings have finally made life bearable Even though I know that this cannot be sustainable

Is my love for you honest and not an illusion? Although I know that whatever we are is just a foundationless delusion

I’ll push you out, but when we emerge, would we even work? Could we really translate our fantasies into a realistic story arc?

Or will you be done with me as I inevitably deal with my life’s integration? Reverting to the voided potentiality I used for my own predation.

"The Opioid Dilemma: Challenges and Innovations in Pain Management!"

Opioids, once hailed as powerful pain relievers, are now at the center of a global health crisis.

Today, the conversation around opioids is shifting toward safer prescribing practices, alternative therapies, and harm-reduction strategies. As medical professionals and governments work to curb the epidemic, awareness and education are critical in navigating the fine line between effective pain management and public health concerns.

Opioid crisis: How it began and what’s expected to come.

In the 1990s pharmaceutical companies such as Purdue Pharma, famously known for the development and distribution of OxyContin, assured the public that their medication would be a helpful solution to chronic pain with the assurance that it was a low addictive pill. Likewise, other painkiller medication took the form of opioids such as: hydrocodone (Vicodin), hydromorphone, meperidine, and synthetic forms such as fentanyl and tramadol. These companies had claimed that these, “low risk” opioids were beneficial to people who were and weren’t suffering from long term illness, severe post surgery pain and even cancer. However, the results of patients consuming these “pain meds” felt a substantial sense of euphoria to the point of abusing these opioids and sprouting a fatal dependency on them (National Institute of Drug Abuse, 2020). 

Not too long ago Netflix had released a a true crime documentary called, The Pharmacist, consisting of four episodes detailing the tragedy of a Louisiana based pharmacist’s son’s murder to then his discovery of opioid addiction amongst his customers and a pill mill doctor who is distributing them. Prior to watching this documentary I had minimal knowledge of the opioid crisis but watching Dan Schneider’s first hand account of the crisis unfolding, had piqued my interest and desire to learn more.

The first wave of the opioid crisis occurred in the 1990s and then spiked further later in 2010, with the dependency on heroin itself as a result of prescription opioids becoming more difficult to obtain by medical practitioners,

“By 1999, 86% of patients using opioids were using them for non cancer pain. Communities where opioids were readily available and prescribed liberally were the first places to experience increased opioid use and diversion (the transfer of opioids from the individual for whom they were prescribed to others, which is illegal)”

“Deaths due to heroin-related overdoes increased by 286% from 2002 to 2013, and approximately 80% of heroin users admitted to misusing prescription opioids before turning to heroin” (National Capital Poison Center, History of the Opiod Epidemic)

Currently there are on average 130 Americans dying daily to opioid overdose. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has committed to fighting the opioid epedemic and instituted a program called, “Enhanced State Opioid Overdose Surveillance” in order to monitor and support the United States by more effective quality surveillance data regarding fatal and non fatal opioid overdose cases. As of now 32 states are being funded which help provide detailed toxicology information, death scene investigations and other factors.
